PLANNERS have given the go-ahead for developers to rebuild Andover's derelict Ford Cottage at another location - removing one of the main obstacles to redevelopment plans for the site next to the Chantry Centre.
Kailash Estates want to build a hotel on the existing site of the ramshackle Grade 11 listed cottage.
T K Maxx have already said they would be interested in taking over the retail outlet and Trave-lodge would provide a 50-bed hotel.
There would also be some homes.
But the planning application was withdrawn last year because of a range of problems, including plans for the cottage.
Now members of Test Valley Borough Council's northern area planning committee have given permission for the cottage to be re-erected and re-furbished on land near to St Mary's Church.
They also gave the thumbs up to listed building consent for the same process.
